I recently bought a 03-92 white ceramic for the wife and when I went to adjust the time I noticed that the crown was quite stiff. So it wasn't screw down like my 01s but when I go ahead and turn the crown to adjust the time/date/wind the crown is harder to turn than any of the watches that I own. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my crown?

Strange indeed! Did you try to come back to 0 position then to pull again ?

Yes I did and same thing. My 02-92 Diver has some resistance too much the resistance on this one is more. Wife wore it for the whole day and it seems to be keeping time ok. Will monitor for a few more days to see how timing is.
